There are 5 times as many orange popsicles as grape popsicles in Reid's freezer. There are 12 more orange popsicles than grape popsicles. How many grape popsicles are there in Reid's freezer?

3 grape popsicles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Orange popsicles = x

Grape popsicles = y

There are 5 times as many orange popsicles as grape popsicles in Reid's freezer.

x = 5y Equation 1

There are 12 more orange popsicles than grape popsicles.

x = y + 12 Equation 2

Hence, we substitute 5y for x in Equation 2

5y = y + 12

5y - y = 12

4y = 12

y = 12/4

y = 3

Note that, Grape popsicles = y

y = 3 grape popsicles.

Therefore, the number of grape popsicles that are there in Reid's freezer is 3 grape popsicles

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
